The Other Election

4112009

Funny how you don’t see or hear people talking about another huge win for Conservatives from yesterdays elections results. Conservatives, with help from some Moderates, and even some Dems, voted down Same-Sex Marriage.

This is a huge moral win for everyone. Although gays and lesbians won’t agree with me it’s also a moral win for them. For now I will just have to pray that someday they understand what I mean.

They had far more money, volunteers and political support, and geography was on their side, given that New England has been more accepting of same-sex marriage than any other region of the country. Yet gay-rights advocates suffered a crushing loss in Maine when voters decided Tuesday to repeal the state’s new law allowing gays and lesbians to wed, setting back a movement that had made remarkable progress nationally this year.
